Team,
The most difficult part of alert checker creation is finding all the detected entity types to alert for.
I noticed for Linux, there’s a special entity type for average CPU, but I cannot figure out how to see what’s available?
I see this on the entity page, but how do I know what that entity is named? Special Situations¶https://docs.observium.org/entities/#special-situations_1
On UNIX/Linux systems we generate a special "Average" processor entity by calculating the average cpu load for all processors. Use this for alerting on UNIX/Linux.
